1. QUESTION 3
What kind of media institution might
distribute your media product and why?

2. As I cannot distribute my film independently I would need
to rely on a bigger well known film company to produce my
film. I have decided to look at 3 key areas to help me decide
on a film company;
★The ‘Big 4’
★Indpendent film companie
★Which film company have produced the most thrillers

3. THE ‘BIG 4’
At the beginning of the 20th century several
American film production companies had evolved.
They have a very considerable fortune and they have
their own film studios, distribution divisions,
theatres etc. They are named the ‘Big 4’ and they
are:

4. 20 TH CENTURY FOX

5. MGM

6. PARAMOUNT

7. WARNER BROS

8. I did not feel that these were
appropriate for the type of film I have
produced, so I then decided to look at
independent film companies

9. INDEPENDENT
Independent film companies appear when they are
funded with less than 50% of the money that came
from from one of the major film studios. Independent
film distribution companies can offer a decent deal for
independent films that do well at film festivals.

10. After looking at several independent film
companies I decided that these were not
appropriate for the type of film I produced. So
then I started to think about which film company
had produced the most successful thrillers.

11. H A M M E R F I L M P RO D U C T I O N S
This is my ideal film company I would like to distribute
my for many reasons. The company is best known for
horrors and thriller so my film fits into the category
perfectly. As they are an independent film company but
are still very well known I feel that they are the most
appropriate company to distribute my film.
